The peony is one of the flowers of the four seasons and represents the Spring. It symbolizes wealth and honour, honour in the sense of high rank, having an official position, or high social status. Plum Blossom (Prunus) / Meihua : Plum Meihua is one of the most important plants in Chinese art. Their flowers grow on knurled old angular branches, the flowers are fragile and pure, so they can be a symbol of vigour in old age as well as purity. The tree is the first to flower after the long hard winter, symbolically it can represent perseverance as well as renewal.

An impressive and highly decorative early 18th century North Italian console table dating circa 1730-1740 and retaining most of its original gilding and inset with a beautiful “travertino” marble top. A very similar example, of larger proportion, in the Royal Palace of Turin as shown in the second picture. Very good condition, no replacements or losses, original gilding, sturdy structure. Impressive stature very suitable for a hall or living room to accomodate lamps or sculptures.

An Impressive Early 18th Century Italian Giltwood Console Table

18th Century Chinese Armorial Porcelain Tray

Rare pair of late 17th Century Japanese powder blue globular vases of small proportions. This kind of decoration (solid blue background with overglaze gold decoration) is typical of Chinese porcelain. Japanese potters attempted to replicate it but with less success hence the rarity of this colour scheme. We only had one vase such as these before. An interesting fact: a leaf of one of the two vases has been painted in green enamel and it was most probably a mistake during the decorating process. Lamped for UK use with a handmade giltwood base and solid brass fitting; can be easily converted to EU or US Lampshades are not included Height excluding fitting: 34 cm
